GOV. GORDON.

Though the Liberal opposed the
candidacy Of General Gordon, we
are not "sore headed, and must say
that we have seen nothing in his Off
cial acts to condemn On the con-
trary, we have seen much that is
commendable. Thus far he has
made US as good a governor as Geor-
gia has ever had, and We believe that,
in common with all the people Of the
State, when his term Of office shall
have expired, we will have every
reason to say 'hurrah for Gordon. -

him. Our Judgment is indicated.

CLEVELAND OR HILL,

President Cleveland has Just serv-
ed half of his term, and the leading
papers of the country are discussing
as to whether he shall be his own
successor or whether Governor Hill
Of New York will be the coming
man"
1t seems to Us the discussion is en-
tirely too premature. That Mr..
Cleveland's policy as a Democrat
President in retaining large body Of
Republicans in office has given de-
cided dissatisfaction to large body
of Democrats, is no secret, but is
openly criticized. On the CON
trary, his rugged honesty and I'M
swerving fidelity to constitutional
methods has made him friends with
the majority Of democrats, while
many liberal Republicans endorse
him. This gives Cleveland a pres
tige for securing the nomination
again that cannot be ruthlessly ig-
nored. As to what the next two
years Of his administration may de-
yelop to add to his popularity, may
be SO pralseworthy as to break down
all feeble opposition, except that OF
the New York SIN.
But if Mr.. Cleveland should be-
come so distasteful to the Democrats
Of the country as to preclude all har-
monlous concentration upon him for
the nomination, then there can be no
question but that Governor Hill Of
New York will be the chosen leader
OF the Democratic host in the next
Presidential fight. lie has made
every whit as good "a Governor OF
New York as ever did Mr.. Cleveland,
and if anything is more popular with
the Democratic masses of that State,
just at this time But with either
Cleveland or Hill as the standard
bearer Of national democracy, victory
will be certain. The Democratic
party has come to stay. The people
have seen nothing but good to follow
the present democratic administra.
ton, hampered as it has been by q
Republican Senate, and the Republi-
can business men of the country vii
no longer be the bitter partizans tC
defeat the democratic party, as form
erly characterized them when they
were apprehensive to make a change
for fear it would not be for the pros
perity and safety Of the country
Now these fears have been dissipated
and this gives strength to keeping il
power the Democratic party.

The Largest Farm in the World.

Our eastern farmer may obtain new
idea of large farms from the description
given below, furnished to the st. Louis
Republican by correspondent. 1t is
located in the southwest corner of Louis
lana and extends 100 miles north and
south and many miles east and west. 1t
is owned and operated by northern cap
italists, whose general manager, J. B.
Watkins, gives the following account of
its workings:
"Ihe 1900, 900 acres of our tract" Mr..
Watkins said, twas purchased in 1888
from the state of Louisina and from the
United States government. At that
time it was vast grazing land for the
cattle of the few dealers in the neigh
borhood. When I took possession
found over 10000 head of half-wild
horses and cattle. My work was to di-
vide the immense tract into convenient
pastures, establishing stations or
ranches every six miles. The fencing
alone cost in the neighborhood of $780,
600. The land I found to be best
adapted to rice, sugar, corn and cotton.
All our cultivation, ditching, etc., is
done by steam-power. We take tract,
say half mile wide, for instance, and
place an engine on each side. The
engines are portable, and operate cable
attached to four plows, and under this
arrangement we are able to plow 80
acres a day with only the labor of three
men. Our narrowing, planting and
other cultivation is done in like man
ner. In fact, there is not single draft
horse on the entire place. We have
of course, horses for the herders of eat.
tie, of which we now have $1,000 head.
The Southern Pacific Railroads runs for
SO miles through our farm. We have
three steamboats, operating on the wa.
tiers of our own estate, upon which there
are 800 miles of navigable waters. w,
have an ice-house, bank, a ship-yar,l
and rice MILL"

A Desirable Compromise.

AS to reducing the surplus, why not
do as Mr.. Carlisle suggests-begin at
both ends of our revenue system, to-
wit: the customs and the internal
revenue? While reducing the one, why
not lop off some of the other-the
tobacco tax, for instance? What says
the RecordP-Lynch5urg Nrginian.
Mr.. Carlisle does not suggest repeal
of the tobacco tax except as desperate
resort, failing proper methods of tax
reduction. Uncle Sam is suffering from
q tumor that drinks his blood and un-
dermines his strength. The Democratic
doctors, perceiving the trouble, propose
to cut 1t away; but certain protective
quacks insist that it shall not be done
unless Uncle Sam will also agree to let
them cut away part of his body that
is healthy. Mr.. Carlisle and the Record
would reluctantly consent to the mutiIa-
tion rather than see the patient die. It
is the substance of craftsmanship to do
the best attainable good Philadelphia
Record.

GENERAL sTEEDMAN.
ofthe Monument Thursday.

Thursday morning the arrangements
had been completed for the unwilling
of the monument erected to Gen.
James B. Steedman by his early friend,
VIM. ]. Finlay. The day opened clear
and fair, and by 10 o'clock Summit
street began to indicate the crowds that
were expected. Large numbers were
present from abroad, probably 10000 to
$1,000 people, and when the hour fixed
for the parade approached, this was
augmented by the people of the city
until by Up. m. the vicinity of Finlay's
Square was packed by q dense crowd
Promptly at p. m. the procession
moved in the order indicated by the
program, and following the line of
march arrived at the monuments at 2:3O.
BY this time the crowd had grown
until it reached on Summit from
Orange to Walnut and literally packed
the sidewalk and street. st. Clair
street was filled from Cherry to Orange,
and the surrounding buildings were
covered with people. AS far back as
Superior, wherever the line of vision
was unobstructed, crowds were gather
ed.
In the immediate vicinity of the
monument the jam was simply terrible.
AT the crossing between Summit and
st. Clair, west of the monument, the
streams of humanity that flowed down
Summit and st. Clair met, and the
crowd from each direction, intent on
relief, struggled and pushed, good
naturedly but vigorously, until it
seemed at times as if the results would

children was crushed, two, it is report
ed, dangerously.
The national salute, fired by the Bat
terry stationed on Water street, opened
the exercises. Following came the
calling the assembly to order, by John
+. Kumler, prayer by Rev. DIR. Bacon,
announcement of Vice-Presidents and
introduction of Governor Foraker as
president of the day.
Gov. Foraker made a brief speech,
and was followed by Mr.. Finlay, after
which the statue was unveiled by Miss
Emma Steedman, granddaughter of
Gen. Steedman, and now an inmate of
the Soldiers and Sailors Orphans
Home at Xenia.
Mr.. Finlav's delivery of the deed of
the monument to Mayor Hamilton and
the Mayors acceptance of the same
closed the ceremonies at the monument,
the slight rain then falling being ac-
cOmpanied with indications of severe
shower. The great crowd soon dis
persed and the Steedman monument
was an accomplished fact.
In the evening Gen. Smith delivered
his postponed grafton at Memorial
Hall when Mrs. Steedman McCann re-
cited the beautiful poem, "Old Chicka-
mauga," written for the occasion by
Mrs. Kate Brownlee Sherwood,-Jour-
nal.
